Industrial Development of Gurgaon District of Haryana in the National Capital Region, India

Krishan SINGH*

I. Introduction

　　 Haryana is on the threshold of development as regard the township development

is concerned.　As always, Haryana stood for Green revolution, now it translates

rapidly to commercialized and industrialized hub-Center of urbanized population.

Today, ‘Gurgaon’ stands as a ‘role model’ of any city development.　Gurgaon-origi-

nally Guru-Gram1）, named after Duru Dronachanya2） in Mahabharata3） time during

the last decade, it has gone through major changes and has now developed into an

ideal modern township.　The district is surrounded by Delhi and Rajasthan.

　　 The present Gurgaon district comprises nine blocks, viz.　Taru, Nuh, Pataudi,

Nagina, Punhana, Firozpur Jhirka, Sohna, Gurgaon and Farrukhnagar was created

on 15th August 1979.　Gurgaon is the southern most district of Haryana.　Total

population of the district according to 2001 census is 1,657,669 persons.　The decen-

nial growth rate of population of the district as a whole in relation to the state between

the period 1981-1991 and 1991-2001 is as below:

Krishan SINGH：Industrial Development of Gurgaon District of Haryana in the National Capital Region, India

　　 The district lies between 27̊ 39’ and 28̊ 32’ 25” N, and 76̊ 39’ 30” and 77̊ 20’

45” E.　On its north, it is bounded by the district of Rohtak and the Union Territory

of Delhi.　Faridabad district lies to its east.　On its south, the district shares bound-

aries with states of Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan.　To its west lies the district of Re-

wari and the state of Rajasthan (Figure 1).

　　 Gurgaon is the home of the renowned Maruti Suzuki, India’s first small passenger

car of international quality.　Gurgaon’s proximity to Delhi helped in its rapid devel-

opment.　And it is in this district that the latest International Industrial Model

Township has come into being with assistance and guidance from the Japanese.

The 600 hector stretch selected for this purpose is adjacent to village Manesar and

is situated on the National Highway No.8, which connects New Delhi to Jaipur and

Bombay.　It is an ideal location that it is far from the madding crowd, yet not too

far away from the hub of all-important activities.　Strategically located and having

a common border with Delhi, Gurgaon is just a happy minute’s drive away from the

Indira Gandhi International Airport, 35 Minutes away from Connaught Place, the

main shopping center of Delhi and less then an hour from the two-railway station of

the national Capital.

II. Facilities in Gurgaon

1. Communication Facilities

　　 Modern telecommunication facilities linking Gurgaon to all parts of the globe is

a reality.　It is linked with Delhi on the local exchange.　Haryana has a statewide

network of efficient telecommunication facilities.　A mobile telecommunication net-

work is already under implementation and it is expected that in the next two years

the entire state will be covered.　Important areas around Delhi are already part of

Local Delhi Mobile Telecommunication System.　This network system would easily

cover major towns like Faridabad, Gurgaon, Bahadurgarh and Kundli.

2. Manpower

　　 Gurgaon’s proximity to Delhi enables the easy recruitment of skilled and edu-

― 138 ―

地誌研年報　13，2004

cated manpower.　With a wide network of engineering colleges, medical colleges,

management institutions, polytechnics and industrial training institutes within the

state, Haryana provides a vast pool of professionals.　Haryana has a rich reservoir

of trained and skilled manpower.　There are 7 reputed institutes of Engineering and

Technology, which run Degree/Diploma courses in various disciplines.　26 Poly-

technics impart training and offer diploma courses in various specialized areas.

There are 185 Industrial Training Institutes in the state providing technical training

in engineering and non-engineering trades.　In addition, a network of training-cum-

production centers conducts courses in special crafts.　Every year about 30,000 stu-

dents pass out from these institutions adding to Haryana’s rich blue and white collar

potential.　This is apart from the unskilled labour existing in the state.

3. Power

　　 Gurgaon is no-power-cut zone.　Work is in hand for further increasing the

power generation capacity as also to strengthen the power distribution network.

Progressive, future power plans include the setting up of a gas based power genera-

tion plant using natural gas from the Mathura-Jalandhar pipeline.　Haryana State

has always given high priority to the expansion of electricity infrastructure, as it is

one of the most important inputs for the development of the state.　Haryana was

the first state in the country to achieve 100% rural electrification in 1970.

　　 Haryana Power Sector has recently been restructured by establishing two separate

government owned corporation: Haryana Vidyut Prasaran Nigam Limited (TRANSCO)

and Haryana Power Generation Corporation Limited (GENCO).　Earlier the power

sector was being managed by the state owned Haryana State Electricity Board

(HSEB).　The two new corporations were established on 14th August 1998 under the

provisions of Haryana Electricity Reforms Act. 1997.

　　 GENCO is responsible for operation and maintenance and expansion of existing

Panipat and Faridabad thermal power stations and western yamuna canal hydroelec-

tric project.

　　 TRANSCO is to handle the purchase of power and wheel it for bulk distribution

in the state.　For retail distribution of power, two states owned distribution companies

are being established, which will be converted into joint venture companies with

― 139 ―


majority equity holding of the private sector.

　　 Haryana Government has constituted an independent Haryana Electricity Regula-

tory Commission (HERC) under the Haryana Electricity Reforms Act 1997 to aid and

advise the State Government on the development of power sector and take appropri-

ate steps to balance the interest of consumers, power entities and generation companies.

A massive investment of over US $ 1.4 billion has been planned towards rehabilitation

and expansion of the power transmission and distribution over the next 8-10 years.

This would include emphasis on demand side management and efficiency improve-

ment measures.

4. Transport

Road: Haryana is a trend-setter in the field of passenger transport.　It has a total

length of 23,684 kilometers.　The remotest parts of the state are linked with met-

taled roads.　Its modern bus fleet of 3,864 buses covers a distance of 1.15 million

kilometers per day.

Rail: Haryana is well connected on the rail network.　Under the NCR there is al-

ready a proposal to provide rail corridor connecting towns around Delhi linking the

major satellite towns like Faridabad, Gurgaon, Bahadurgarh, Kundli etc.　Similarly,

there is also a proposal to provide rapid mass transportation system between Delhi and

these satellite towns.

5. Water

　　 Underground water is being used at present but a canal based water scheme

has brought water from the western Yamuna Canal to Gurgaon.　The Gurgaon canal

is 70 kms long, having a capacity of 135 cusecs.　Haryana has tapped its ground wa-

ter resources to the maximum.　Lift irrigation schemes, pump sets, and water chan-

nels supply adequate amount of water to the fields and industries.　The state has al-

ready launched an ambitious programme of bricklaying the watercourses.　The

Sutlej-Haryana link canal will further add to Haryana’s prosperity.

6. Law and Order Situation

　　 Law and order situation in Gurgaon is excellent. This paved the way for the in-

― 140 ―

地誌研年報　13，2004

dustrial development.　Industrial houses feel safer in Gurgaon than other parts of

north India.

7. Industrial Relations

　　 Harmonious labour-management relations prevail in all industrial townships of

Haryana and Gurgaon with no exception.　The foreign collaborative ventures have

further transformed the local industrial climate.　The work ethos at these organiza-

tions is influencing the local work culture, which is acquiring a distinct character.

8. Social Infrastructure

　　 Gurgaon’s industrial infrastructure is supported by fully developed residential

townships.　The educational institutions and medical facilities available are at par

with those of a metropolitan city.　Constructed by the Haryana Urban Development

Authority as well as by private developers, ample provisions have been made to

meet the housing needs.　It is one of the most well planned and fast growing towns

of the country.

9. Other Attractions

a. Vanijya Nikunj

　　 A futuristic commercial complex on the outskirts of Gurgaon, conveniently locat-

ed on the National Highway No.8, close to the Indira Gandhi International Airport,

set amidst a green clean environment, where doing business would be a pleasure by

itself.　Energy-efficient, functionally intelligent yet aesthetic buildings underline the

concept behind the creation of this complex.　Spread over 17 acres, Vanijya Nikunj

offers about 70,000 square meters of covered space.

b. Udyog Vihar

　　 Spread out over 1000 acres and comprising of six phases, Udyog Vihar and its

adjoining industrial areas are pollution-free industrial complex.　There are more

than 1000 units in operation with big names such as AKG Acoustics Limited, Atlas

Tubes, Bharti Telecom Limited, Bry Air, DCM data Products limited, Hindustan

computers Limited, Modi Alcatel, GE Plastics, Maruti Suzuki, IDPL, Munjal Shova

― 141 ―


and others who have commenced full fledged production.　Mention must also be

made of specially developed industrial areas such as Electronics City, Electronics

Hardware Technology Park, Software Technology Park, Pace city and Textile Valley.

10. Other Big Industrial Houses in Gurgaon

　　 Although the Japanese presence is most strongly felt, other countries have not

lagged behind in setting up collaborative ventures at Gurgaon.　Alcatel of France,

General Electric of USA, Servis of U.K., Ribon S.P.A. of ltaly, X-Rad of Canada,

whose names are known all over the world have already established a strong base

in Gurgaon.

III. Reasons for Gurgaon’s Industrial Development

　　 Gurgaon is one of the fastest developing cities in Northern India.　Its proximity

to New Delhi helps the development.　Initially considered a satellite city to Metro

New Delhi, the habitation begun living in Ansal’s in Palam Vihar, having regular in-

ferior-rated basic infrastructure of access roads, power and water, which has been

developed later.　Earlier established, Maruti Udyog gave Gurgaon planners a feel to

consider the town development, a prelude for making it an industrial hub-centre.

Keeping the pace with time, it undertook considerable development work to ensure

that the industries coming up in Gurgaon have a smooth sailing run.

　　 In Gurgaon, Real Estate is looming with new buildings coming up faster, adding

up featuristic and quality development.　The capital (New Delhi) based-offices as

being relocated from congested and contaminated down-town area of Connaught

Place, Nehru Place or Bhikaji Cama Place.　DLF, UNITECH, Ansal Essel are active

amongst participating real estate developers.　Omaxe is also creating world-class

neighbourhood in Gurgaon, along with other Omaxe’s commitments (in Uttar

Pradesh, Maharashtra & Punjab).　Now Gurgaon has become one of the most sig-

nificant corporate and industrial town with excelling in the IT Industry and Software

development.

　　 In the meanwhile, Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA) made all

the provision available for a new modern town with seed of its conceptualization set

― 142 ―

地誌研年報　13，2004

in nature.　Gurgaon city layout, which is ready in thought, is modern and the ambi-

ence is natural.　Maruti Industries taking as an anchor lead to industrial develop-

ment of Gurgaon which has given schematic development of all kind industries

spreading beyond its geographic end upto Mansear or Rajasthan’s and Bhiwani.

　　 Gurgaon’s planners have also been conceptualized as a catalyst for promoting

the pace of industrialization here.　Promotion of large and medium sector projects

has been among one of its prime objects.　Keeping the growth and understanding

the need the developer (DLF, Unitech, Ansal and Others) made Gurgaon transform-

ing into a destination of their offices of all corporate and MNC’s from the crowded

and expensive Connaught Place or other New Delhi commercial complexes.　In this

context DLF’s Corporate Park Gateway Tower, Unitech’s Signature Tower, Millennium

Tower, Global Business Park, Unitech Business Park are a few to name which have

provided the clients with all international standards amenities and facilities.　Now

many other players are also in the trade, i.e. MGF Tower, Sahara Mall, JMD’s Royal

Court, Vatika’s First Indian Place, and Vipul Orchid Tower etc.　The Gurgaon portion

of Mehraulli-Gurgaon Road is going to be a glittering stretch with best of architectured

commercial complexes.

　　 Most of the corporate offices are shifting from down-town New Delhi to Gurgaon

into these commercially built-up complexes.　MNCs are also opting in these com-

plexes, as they find adequate housing facilities with international standard & avail-

ability of choices in Gurgaon.　If Chennai’s Tidal Park is pioneering for feeding

maximum to the event of success as cyber city, Gurgaon goes for multiple develop-

ment of DLF’s, Unitech’s and other’s cyber Parks.　This would facilitate the client’s

needs to maximize the all-fold concentration in this region for housing cyber activi-

ties IT industries and software development.

IV. Industrial Infrastructure in Gurgaon

1. Industrial Model Township (IMT) Manesar

a. Location

　　 The site is ideally located on NH-8, about 45 km from Delhi and 17 km from

Gurgaon and is situated within the highly developed Gurgaon-Rewari industrial corri-

― 143 ―


dor.　Most of the industrial giants dealing in auto mobil and auto components, light

engineering, textiles, healthcare, software and electronics sectors like Maruti, Hero

Honda, Escorts, Carrier Aircon and Sony, fall in its immediate vicinity.　The site is

at an easy proximity to Delhi’s domestic and international airport and Tughlakabad

from where Container Corporation of India provides regular train services for contai-

nerised cargo.

b. Development Plan of IMT finalised with the following salient features:

◦ The township has been conceived to be developed as an integrated self-contained

industrial park.

◦ About 900 acres land ear-marked for the industrial zone.

◦ Over 250 acres reserved for industrial housing for those who set up industrial

units at the IMT.

◦ Land reserved for commercial/institutional purposes.

◦ Housing zone has been separated from the industrial zone by NH-8 and 50 mtrs.

Green belt has been provided on both sides of the NH-8 to maintain a healthy en-

vironment.

◦ A fly-over on NH-8 to link the residential zone with the industrial zone.

◦ Wide roads ranging from 15 mtrs. to 60 mtrs. width has been proposed to develop

a proper circulation system.

◦ A green park at the township level including the facilities of a club to be devel-

oped over 25 acres.

◦ Independent water works with storage, treatment and excellent internal distribu-

tion system.

◦ Efficient sewerage disposal system.

◦ Solid waste management and disposal system.

◦ High quality internal electrical distribution system with supply from a 220 Kv sub-

station.

地誌研年報　13，2004

ments.　There shall be separate zones having a distinct focus on various industry

sectors such as:

◦ High technology units

◦ High precision units

◦ Other non-polluting units

　　 Each zone will be built around specific anchor tenants some of whom already

exist in the vicinity of Manesar.　The planned plot mix shall vary across small and

large sizes within each zone.　The plots will be designed for mother units, ancillary

units and sub-ancillaries.　A cluster approach is being planned.

d. Key locational benefits

◦ Proximity to Delhi

◦ Proximity to two large auto ‘mother units’ - Maruti Udyog Ltd. and Hero Honda

◦ Proximity to international & domestic airports

◦ Proximity to developed hinterland that can provide a better ‘quality of life’ to

employees

◦ Better image for industries and location derived status for operations

e. Fiscal Incentives

　　 As per the industrial policy of Haryana announced in August 1997, following

fiscal incentives would be available to the industrial units located in IMT.

◦ Option of seeking sales tax exemption or deferment

◦ Sales tax exemption upto 100% of FCI (125% for SSI units) for seven years.

◦ Sales tax deferment upto 125% of FCI (150% for SSI units) for seven years.

◦ Sales tax exemption/deferment upto 300% of FCI for seven years in case of elec-

tronic industry.

◦ Exemption from payment of electricity duty for a period of five years.

◦ Exemption from payment of octroi on capital equipment, building material & raw

material for seven years.

f. Industrial Infrastructure in IMT

　　 The IMT will be in every sense an ideal industrial environ of the future with

― 145 ―


world class roads, buildings, water supply network, street lights, power distribution

lines, underground multi-purpose ducts, waste water piping network, storm water

drainage, gas pipe line, water purification plants, power stations, a telecommunication

network, sewage and drainage, solid waste management network, common effluent

treatment plants, interspersed with appropriately placed green belts. A multi carriage

six-line fly-over is planned to carry the through traffic on National Highway so as to

provide uninterrupted and free movement of traffic within the Industrial Model Town.

g. Incentives for Industries

　　 Haryana offers an extremely attractive array of incentives all of which is appli-

cable to IMT.　As per the prevailing industrial policy there is deferment of 7 years

for the payment of sales tax, which amounts to 100% fixed capital investment.　All

units coming up in IMT would qualify for exemption from payment of octroi on capital

equipment, building materials and raw materials for a period of 9 years.　No electric-

ity duty needs to be paid for a period of 5 years.　For investment proposals of US $

1.56 million or more, the Haryana Government has constituted an Investment Pro-

motion Board (IPB), which will have Investment Promotion Centres at Delhi and

Chandigarh and will act us an executive arm of the IPB.　The IPBs will provide one

window service for the proposals okayed by the Investment Promotion Board.　

Headed by the Chief Minister, the board will have on its management senior offi-

cers from all the departments connected with industrial promotion of the state.　

The objective of the board is to attract foreign investment in the field of industry, fi-

nancial services, and specialized hospital development.

2. Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA)

　　 In all these planned development, the role of Haryana Urban Development Au-

thority (HUDA) is most significant. Gurgaon is a naturally planned town.　HUDA

have realized the potential of Gurgaon - as earlier small township, growing into a

metro mega city and visualized it as a commercially and technically savy city to es-

tablish foundation for social commercial and industrial success, HUDA has realized

that the success of town lies in the satisfaction of its people and believe in bringing

them together.　Keeping them in mind, HUDA has developed creche building,

地誌研年報　13，2004

schools, colleges, dispensary, hospital, community building, police station and fire

station, milk booth, bus shelters, telephone exchanges, stadium, club, old age

homes, golf course etc.

　　 Considering water, inevitable source of life HUDA truly realizes the importance

of water in all aspects of life.　Consequently, a 70 km water channel from Sonepat

to Gurgaon has been constructed, which is designed to supply 100 MGD treated wa-

ter capable of serving upto 16 lacs of people.　As for ‘sewerage - which is the hy-

giene of Life’ HUDA has also designed a 4 zone Sewerage system to ensure hygiene

of community.　The waste is carried through proper channels and disposed in an

appropriate engineered manner. It also provides an efficient drainage system to

stop the rainwater from collecting in the town.

　　 As already known, Haryana as a state and Gurgaon in particular is a front-runner

in the Green Revolution.　Despite being a commercial township, it has not forgotten

the importance of nature.　Accordingly, several provisions have been made to develop

parks, open spaces and green belts.　A park has already been developed in Sector

29, which is fully decorated with water bodies i.e. foundation etc. For all round devel-

opment of Gurgaon, HUDA has not ignored the rural population along with urban

lot.　The water supply, sewerage, storm water, roads, streets, bricks on edge of

paving and electrification etc.　are planned for the village: Jharsa, Khandsa,

Sukhrali, Sarhole, Dundahera, Mulahera, Carterpuri, Gurgaon village, Kadipur, Kan-

hari, Basai, Islampur and Dhanwapur.

strengthening and locating small and medium scale industries both in industrially

advanced and backward areas.　The basic infrastructure provided in these estates

comprises internal roads, water, electricity, sewerage, drainage and essential civic

amenities.　A fully developed industrial plot or a built up shed helps in speedier exe-

cution of the project.

　　 HSIDC has developed industrial complexes/ancillary estates at a number of lo-

cations.　The corporation has setting up an ultra modern commercial complex

‘VANIJYA NIKUNJ' with a capital cost of around Rs.70 crore4） at Udyog Vihar, Gur-

gaon.　Apart from several commercial buildings, the complex will also house the

‘Udyog Minar’ from where all state agencies involved in industrial promotion shall

work in close coordination with each other.　In addition, mini-industrial estates

(Udyog Kunj) at selected focal villages in the state are also being established to pro-

vide opportunities for self-employment to the unemployed rural youth.　Allotment

procedures have been simplified for faster implementation of industrial projects.

The available infrastructure in the industrial estates has also been refurbished for

smoother functioning.

4. IT Industry in Gurgaon
